Books about Italy

The ABRUZZO-MOLISE are not the best known regions of Italy, but here are three titles that help fill a void of publications on these important regions located just east of Rome: an in-depth academic history of a medieval village, a children's book about its valley which nurtured Pentro horses for over 2,000 years, and a biographic novella that brings the village to life. "Flashback" captures Italian-American life in a Pennsylvanian city.
